Perhaps the father never wanted his son to destroy their lives....Perhaps that was the guys problem, maybe he never had guidance and love as a child....what if his father never wanted him....how would that feel? Would it make one just a little bit angry?

True

Yet his father was hiding his sons problems at the sameTime

Report said that his father reported a theft of laptop and Other, and when they asked about his story, father said “He was in an accident and couldn’t deal with a visit”

If that makes any sense??

Makes perfect sense some parents hate to think their children might have a problem it's often hard to admit there's a problem close to home....and how sad if these parents can now just get on with their lives.....without a thought for those that are suffering and did suffer even their son and how sad too if they can't.get on with their lives I mean, not the bit about not thinking of orhers...like how can you equate any of it with "right"

God promised to is not a definition of iniquity, which was my question. God promised to do what? He promised a lot of things and I haven't seen any evidence of him fulfilling any one of those promises yet.

That is why patience is considered so essential a virtue,

If someone told you you would be guaranteed A trust fund of $100 million , if you would only Learn how to be patient, would you skofff because you know Patience is unattainable to you , or would you find out if There may be a way to verify and prove if these promisesAre worth considering.

I would check it out and see, but then until that time actually Came I would be cautious

I do understand caution, but please give other people theCurtesy they deserve? Thanks

You didn't really answer Snow's question.

Your original post said; "But thankfully God promised not to send a flood , Yet the world will one day be purged of all iniquity. In a later post you just stated"god promised"

NOW you are seem to be saying "patience" is a "virtue" and therefore we should be patient for this god to fulfill his promise. Am I correct?

If so just how long should people have to wait?

This god in which you believe has been around for a very long time and as Snow said,"He promised a lot of things and I haven't seen any evidence of him fulfilling any one of those promises yet." I second her statement.

Shall I remind you of your laughter, as you mock and Belittle believers, people that you accuse of being Mean spirited ? And when you mock God, is that Not unbecoming, since you wouldn’t mock the devil would you.

Well this discussion is concerning the lives of “Militant atheists” , (anti-theists)

Will gladly respond to your analysis on the appropriate Discussion? Fair?

I have listened to a fair amount of propaganda ,And it’s all to twist and distort facts

Whatever the case, genocide is generally not considered the moral solution.

What facts have been distorted? The British had supplied the natives with goods that were known to be infected with smallpox. The leader said it was a good thing. In writing. He suggested "to try Every other method that can serve to Extirpate this Execrable Race." He also suggested hunting them down using dogs.

Who is comparing it to anything? I was just pointing out the possibility that while many were killed by disease sometimes those diseases were deliberately passed to the natives.

But the implication that this was a religious war ( jihad)

And that is not the case,.

If you wish to state or make this a discussion, pleaseDo, otherwise I will conclude you want this to beIncluded In this discussion of (anti-theism) ? Fair?

Thanks!

It was not a religious war but a group of people who wanted to eliminate a different group of people. The natives could have been monotheistic, polytheistic, or some other combination. I think the discussion had to do with how the British, considered to be theists/christians, mistreated the native americans.
